Adds a sort to a query or sort, sorting by the specified properties in descending order.

The descending() method refines this query to sort in descending order of the specified properties. If you specify more than one property, descending() sorts the results in descending order by each property in the order they are listed.

You can sort the following types:

Number: Sorts numerically.

  • Date: Sorts by date and time.
  • String: Sorts lexicographically, so "abc" comes before "XYZ".
  • Reference: Compares by the ID of the referenced item as a String.

If a property contains a number as a String, that value is sorted alphabetically and not numerically. Items that do not have a value for the specified sort property are ranked lowest.
